Dr. Deneke took extra time to help explain some other health issues I was having as it pertained to some Anemia/ positive ANA Antibody testing questions and also a possible lypoma on my back. He was very thorough and helped direct me to which doctors/ specialists I should see for follow- up and his time and knowledge were very much appreciated! I left feeling like I had a better health-plan!

That was the most painful experience I've had yet to date. I cried and yelled the whole procedure but the dr put in my notes "tolerated well". And I absolutely did not and will not return to this clinic for that service.
